Beverly Hills, CA: United Artists, 1961. Vintage studio still photograph from the set of the 1961 film, showing director John Huston riding a tire while actor Eli Wallach looks on. With a provenance stamp on the verso. The final completed film for actors Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe before their deaths. Notoriously a trying endeavor for both Monroe, who was struggling with a drug addiction and pending divorce from Arthur Miller and would often fail to show up to the set, and for director John Huston, who would drink and occasionally fall asleep while filming. Gable performed all of his own stunts, then suffered a heart attack only two days after filming ended and died ten days later. Set and shot on location in Dayton, Nevada. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine.

Near Fine.
